It is important to know what distinguishes two types of Dobermans – American and European. But here the views of dog breeders diverge, as some believe that the difference between American and European is so great that it is necessary to divide them into two separate breeds. American type American Dobermans dog breeders gave the nickname “Velcro”, which means “Velcro”. In temperament, these dogs are more affectionate and trusting than their counterparts of European descent. In general terms, the American representative is more sophisticated and elegant. However, they have less dark eyes and a smooth head line.

But their neck is long with a refined bend. Their bones are weaker than those of European types. The elongation of the body depends on the length of the lower back. But the color of the American dogs is light, and they have wide light tan. American Dobermans are recognized as the most skillful and elegant. European type As for European Dobermans, significant differences will not follow here. Regarding temperament – these dogs are more wary of people, of course, they trust the owners, but show less affection than the American. The view of the European representative is larger, muscular, with a deep chest. They have pronounced: the line of the head, dark eyes and a strong lower jaw.

“Oh!” and that says a lot. And if at home and a child aged 5 years, who at 9 months did not go, but ran and runs until now, not giving the slightest chance even to Energizer batteries, then this is “OU !!!” doubly. The energies of both over the edge, and how not to give her a way out?
We dabbled together, skkodali together, but actually why in the past tense. Even now they continue to do this after two years and quite successfully.
From the very beginning, we explained to our daughter how to handle the puppy, it turned out to be taught to respect both one and the other, and now they are, well, just girlfriends, so to speak. And there was everything: knocked down knees running around one after another; and scratches; and bruises, when, flying, towards each other, they looked everywhere, but not forward, and screamed and squeaked scattered in different directions; and t-shirts and pants torn in a fit of joy of a puppy. There were also tattered wallpapers, eaten shoes, an umbrella and three brooms, torn kitchen curtains carefully and laid under his ass, repeated research and turning over the garbage can, and subsequently pulling it like a magnet for a long time, even learned to open the doors thanks to this “magnet”. And this is despite the huge number of purchased toys. And puddles, puddles, puddles … But there were also frightened guests jumping into Doberman’s arms who had the imprudence to sit in her favorite chair. Continue reading →

“It is still unclear whether the removal of the Doberman is the result of ingenious selection, or is it pure coincidence.” Ernst Wilking.

The founder of the breed is Friedrich Louis Dobermann, who was born on January 2, 1834, in the small town of Apolda, in southern Germany. The range of activity of this outstanding person was incredibly large. It is known, for example, that he worked as a night policeman, was a tax collector, worked on a flipper where, according to some versions, he bought up breeding material that fed meat from a city cattle slaughterhouse, where he also once worked.

“Legends still circulate about Friedrich Louis Doberman. In some, he figures as a brilliant breeder-delitant with a high aesthetic sense and phenomenal intuition, in others he acts as the favorite of fortune, who accidentally attacked the“ gold mine ”. (E. Rosenberg )

What was the reason for the breeding of a new breed? There are also a lot of guesses and versions. Here is one of them: “As a tax collector, and also working as a night policeman, Friedrich Louis naturally exposed his life to dangers, and he needed a satellite next to which he could feel absolutely calm. Apparently this is a circumstance, as well as personal qualities character of the creator himself was the beginning. In any case, it is known that the main principle of selecting dogs for breeding work was a set of working qualities. Continue reading →
